After John heals Mr. jingles. Mr. jingles does not go running back to Dell, instead Mr. jingles turns into mighty mouse and goes tearing after Percy.

I saw this in the theater. The audience was the most interactive I've ever experienced. People HATED Percey. There was an audible gasp when he killed Mr. Jingles and cries of "You bastard!" when he told Dale there was no Mouseville. They gasped when the camera revealed Melinda's beauty after she was cured, and audibly wept when Coffey died.

I fought in Iraq for so long that something inside me broke. I can't handle any violence or pettiness or cruelty anymore. And I'm old enough to have realized that this world is a cold, selfish place. So when John says, "I'm tired of people being ugly to each other," I feel it in my core. Why do evil men get free reign? Why are good men forced to carry the burden? I'm not a religious man, but I often feel like if there were a Hell, it would look an awful lot like here and now.

Stephen King has, pretty much, confirmed that theory. And you can take the analogy even further. Jesus was crucified between two criminals, one who repented his sins, and one who didn't. Aka.

In some legends he was cursed to wander the earth for all eternity for his sins, just like Paul has to.

To put it in perspective, Mr. Jingles is still alive after 64 years once Paul left the Green Mile at 44. A mouse's lifespan is 2 years, so 32 lifespans for him and he is still going. Paul is 108, so he has a long ways to go since an average lifespan for a human is 70 or so. 2240 years at least left plus more he has to suffer. Really recommend The Terminal with Tom Hanks

Mrs October, to help with your question about Mr Jingles vs the Warden’s wife. Mr. Jingles was not “infected” with the power when he was healed just as the warden’s wife wasn’t nor Paul for that matter when his infection was healed. It happened when Del was being electrocuted as Coffey explains that’s when he accidentally infected Mr Jingles and for Paul he had to infect him so he could see the visions himself. No such “infection” took place with the warden’s wife. Hope that helps. Loved your reactions by the way.

To answer your question about Mr Jingles and why he lived so long. John told Paul the mouse felt Eddie’s pain through him while he was holding him. I think the way it works is he takes pain and sickness away. Like when he took the tumor from Melinda the Wardens wife. She was sick. When he took Paul’s bladder infection away he was sick. When he showed Paul what Wild Billy did to the girls he took his hand and gave Paul a part of him. It’s the sabe with Mr Jingles. Those are the only two he actually gave of himself as opposed to taking something away. At least this is the way I understand it. Let me know if it makes sense or if others came up with something else. Great reaction. I’m subscribed now!

Wow guys! I first consumed this story via the original periodicly released paperbacks, which still still on our bookshelf. I have also seen this movie adaptation hundreds of times, and read an in-depth article by Stephen King explaining his thought process behind this story. Besides all that, I never once cried throughout all that. Part of the reason for that is that I am just very capable of dealing with heavy subject matter, even in real life when it impacts me directly. I am also an Atheist, despite being raised Catholic and attending the Church of the Nazarene in my teenage years when I met my wife and simply wanted to engulf myself in every aspect of her life. Despite all that insight and exposure to this story, this is the absolute best reaction video I've seen of it yet. Likewise, for the first time since first watching it, you guys offered more angles of analysis than I had ever considered previously. Your reaction actually added to the experience and actually got me much more invested in the subject matter. This is a very complex film, mostly because it's based on King's story. His idea spawned from his wonder about the subject of the death penalty; specifically, "old sparky" (aka, the electric chair). King wondered what must be the thought process and emotions experienced in the minds of the condemned. For that matter, what about the people who have to pull the switch, or prepare the condemned for their final moments. And, true to King's nature, he also wondered what goes on in the minds of the evil people involved in the process. That is why the intertwined nature of so many complex characters and story lines in this beautifally crafted worked of fiction. I may be an Atheist, but I'm not one of those idiots who feel threatened, offended, or resentful about religion in general; and I can easily respect a well-told story even if it is based on a foundation of religion, faith, or devinity. I totally understand the message, and the intent of such stories; and story-telling is a unique craft that not everybody has. For those reasons, I consider this one of the best movies I've ever seen. A great story line, wonderful acting, and good practical effects are all that's needed to make a good film. Castaway is another Tom Hanks film with all those same elements. Thank you guys for this well-done reaction video. I have been watching a lot of them posted by many different content characters on KZbin, but only a few of them do a well enough job to get me to subscribe, binge watch all the videos they've already posted, and wait in anticipation to get a notification when there is a new video to watch.

Frank Dourabont wrote and directed 3 Stephen King based movies, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile and The Mist. He also was in charge of the first 2 season of The Walking Dead. Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan became very good friends while filming this. Tom also spoke at Michael's funeral. Michael Clark Duncan also played Kingpin in Daredevil with Ben Affleck. I've heard that Jon was suppose to be Jesus and that the scars on him are from where the Romans whipped him and from the thorn crown they placed on his head. Not sure if that's true but I remember hearing it when the movie first came out. When Dell was being killed, John being an empath could feel all the pain Dell was going through, which overloaded John, causing part of his power to spill into Mr Jingles.

He's stated that he made a decision to believe in God, but that he rejects organized religion and has been critical of the "carny" aspects of religion in America. He's also spoken about his admiration for the showmanship of certain preachers and his belief in intelligent design. Overall, it seems like Stephen King's beliefs are complex and nuanced, and that he's not afraid to question traditional religious dogma while still maintaining a belief in some form of higher power.

For the record, Bitterbuck killed a man in a bar fight over a pair of boots. Delacroix, raped and killed a young girl, then tried to burn up her body which caught an apartment building on fire which killed 6 others including 2 children.

I know they he terrible shit but when I read the book the first time I couldn’t help but tear up for Delacroix the book let you get to know them a bit more than the movie but yeah a lot of people forget these guys are on death row as somber as the scenes can feel

It’s good we’re not told what most of them were there for. We know they’ve all committed heinous crimes, but that under different circumstances they could have been people you could have been friends with.

Wow I forgot all about Mouse Hunt! I only saw it once but it was fun haha. Also, the guy they were rehearsing the chair with wasn’t rehearsing his death, they were just using him to rehearse.

I think we can all agree that any film with Tom Hanks in it is going to be great.

Great reaction. Thank you for sharing your emotions with us. I love this film. To me, its one of the best, ever. One thing to note, as perfect as the acting is by Hanks, Duncan and the rest, the performances of Del and Wild Bill must be equally appreciated, though despised. For, if those actors had not made us hate them as much as we do, the film would have been less for it. Keep watching the movies, there are still many out there awaiting you.

I'm from Canada and we've never had the death penalty during the time I've been alive. When I was about 8 I watched Dead Man Walking with my mother - a nun (Susan Sarrandon) forms a friendship with a convict (Sean Penn) on death row. I had nightmares afterwards, I couldn't believe the government could just kill people. I'm still very much against death penalty now at 36 years old. We're doing just fine without it here - in fact crime rates are lower than in the US. Wrongly convicted people can and do get killed by the state. It's just not a risk I'm willing to take. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I believe in rehabilitation for a large majority of criminals.

we did have the death penalty.... the last being in the 50s or 60s (cant rememeber which)... it was officially abolished in the 70s.

This is a great movie, the way he was comforting them as they led him to his execution kills me every time. RIP MCD, you are missed. Armageddon is my favorite movie with him, it's an all star cast and a must see movie.

This, along with The Shawshank and The Mist are the best screenplay adaptations ever. Right now the audiobook is up on a KZbin channel called Patrick Dennis McDonald. It has some great abridged and unabridged books on tape. Including the whole all seven Dark Tower series. But KZbin bound to discover that and take them down without warning. Great reaction guys!

Harry Dean Stanton's character isn't a death row inmate. He is a trusty, an inmate who is trusted with some responsibility, like serving as the subject in an execution rehearsal. Stanton has been in a lot of movies, including "Alien" and "The Avengers."

This is my theory. John is an angel, he heals people. When John healed that woman, he took her sickness into himself. Went back to the prison, waited for Percy, when John grabbed Percy, God took over and punished Percy for everything he did through John. And then left him before John died and went back to heaven.
@cclepew5 ай бұрын
Agreed! I also think John showed Percy what Wild Billy did, and gave Percy a piece of his gift. You'll notice that tears roll down Percy's face as he fires the gun. He's a rotten, damaged person, but when he saw true evil he felt empathy, possibly for the first time in his life, for those girls. Just a theory.
